CRAFTING TO BUILD A POSITIVE SELF IMAGE

About Me and My Blog

Why I Decided To Start This Blog

When I started planning this blog I gave a lot of thought on what I wanted to accomplish with it; what to name it, what kind of information I wanted to publish and how it should look. I quickly decided my blog’s name and the type of content I wanted to publish. I also had a general idea of how I wanted my new blog to look! Now I had to decide what I wanted to ultimately accomplish with my new blog and how I could achieve that!

After a lot of thought, I decided that the ultimate goal I wanted to accomplish in doing a blog, was to share my love and joy of crafting. Additionally I wanted to share how crafting helped me build a stronger and more positive self-image; and I wanted my blog to inspire others to use crafting to improve their self-image. 🙂

Hi,
Welcome to Self Images, a place where I like to share my crafting interests! My name is Angela Self, although I usually post on blogs as Angie Self. I'm a 55 yr old wife, mother, and grandmother; and a full time Technical Librarian. I've been crafting, in some form, since I was six years old. My dad's mom, who I called Mom Mom, taught me how to hand sew and I've been crafting since! I still sew often, but have picked up several other crafty interests through the years including: heirloom sewing, machine embroidery, spinning yarn, knitting, scrapbooking, card making, and mixed-media art journaling. My personal mantra is "Learn at least one new thing a day". Since I love to learn new things, I'm always adding new craft interests! It's these varied crafty interests that I hope to share with other people through this blog :)
